Grâce à une stratégie nationale en matière d’agriculture biologique, l’agriculture malgache s’ouvre au monde

Madagascar has implemented a national organic agriculture strategy and Law No. 2020-003 to transition traditional farming into a certified organic sector. Supported by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), the government is piloting 'Organic Agricultural Territories' (TVAB) in the Diana, Sava, and Analanjirofo regions to achieve economies of scale and ensure product integrity for export. Between 2020 and 2024, organic farming area grew by over 60%, increasing from 103,817 to 169,893 hectares, while the number of organic producers rose to 62,000.

• Madagascar's organic farming sector was previously hindered by a lack of official certification and government standards, preventing traditional farmers from accessing competitive international markets despite using sustainable methods.
• The government launched a national organic strategy in January 2021 and passed Law No. 2020-003 to provide a regulatory framework, protect biodiversity, and recognize participatory guarantee systems as valid certification for smallholders.
• The 'Organic Agricultural Territories' (TVAB) model is being piloted in the Diana, Sava, and Analanjirofo regions to group producers, share costs for certification and equipment, and create environmental buffer zones to prevent chemical contamination.
• The IISD provided critical market data and policy analysis to help the government identify high-value export products, specifically vanilla, medicinal plants, spices, and cocoa, and to target markets in Europe, North America, and Asia.
• Between 2020 and 2024, the area of organic agriculture in Madagascar increased by more than 60%, growing from 103,817 hectares to 169,893 hectares, and the number of organic producers grew from 54,376 to 62,000.
• Future growth faces challenges including the need for better internal control systems for certification, securing funding for international expansion, and complying with new regulations such as the European Union's deforestation regulation for cocoa.
